You can take a number of images and join them together to form a
panorama picture. The software (ACDSee for PENTAX) on the CD-ROM
(S-SW32) provided with the camera and a computer are necessary for
joining the images. The Panorama Assist mode enables you to overlap
the edges of the images so that they are easier to join together into a
panorama picture.
